Well D boy, I guess I could live with a shelf cut in, since the bow looks so sweet. Take her down to 45 pounds and we will talk trade then sonny boy:)

lol Gee thanks for the trust Kenny..lolol  Roy I could paint it all yellow that way you could still tell everybody it was osage..lolol  I've read some cool stuff on those PVC bows.  I've got the clear on it Roy but I might be willing to take it down to 45 if the pot is sweet enough...lol

Thanks for the kind words everybody.  I means a lot.  Its got a bad glue line here and there but I'm really happy with it.  I'm not for sure which one I like building better boo backed stuff of glass.  I like the sweet looking wood that you can use with glass and I definitely like that the glass wont lift a splinter just for no dang reason like boo does.  Thanks again everybody.  I'm going to go see how the clear turned out.

It's hard to make a wooden bow which isn't beautiful, even if it's ugly.

Roy I sure would like to have one of your boo backed osage.  I would love to have a couple of those flipped tips.

Art go take a cold shower..lolol and what do you mean a real string.  The one that is on it came from YOU!!!!!!....lolol

Thanks for all the compliments everybody.  It really does mean a lot considering the amazing work I've seen you all do.  This bow wouldn't have been possible without the help from everybody on here.  Thanks again.
